1.3 Intended use
The machine is a piece of technical equipment to be used exclusively
as a working appliance. The machine may only be operated by persons older than 14 years of age.
Use the machine only to pack products in pre-made film pouches.
The film pouches are closed with a seal seam.
For specifications, see Technical specifications.
Any other use is considered improper and can endanger persons, the
product and the machine.
1.3.1 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
The machine has been designed for use in residential, business and
industrial areas (without a separate power substation, it can be connected directly to the public mains). Operation can be impaired when
used in an industrial environment.
1.3.2 Non-ionising radiation
The machine produces unintended non-ionising radiation. This is only
emitted by electrical operating equipment as a function of its inherent
technical nature. e.g. from electric motors, high voltage wires, magnetic coils. There are moreover no strong permanent magnets built
into the machine. Any effect on active implants can therefore be excluded with a high degree of probability as long as a safety distance
of 30 cm is maintained between the implant and the field source. Active implants can be: heart pacemakers, defibrillators etc.
1.4 Reasonably foreseeable incorrect use
The following work methods are not in accordance with regulations
and therefore are prohibited:
• Operation in an atmosphere capable of explosion.
• Packing of highly flammable, combustible or explosion-prone
products.
• Packing of dust-forming or powder-forming material.
• Gas flushing of film pouches with explosive gas mixtures (e.g.
oxygen proportion over 21 %).
Safety
Reasonably foreseeable incorrect use
14 10.06.2014
• Use of the chamber lid and the viewing window in the chamber lid
as a storage, working or cutting surface.
• Cleaning of the chamber lid and the viewing window in the chamber lid with cleaning agents which have an abrasive effect (e.g.
abrasive household liquid cleaner, scouring pads, steel wool etc).
• Aseptic packing of products.
Info
Misuse will exclude any liability on behalf of the manufacturer. In
such a case, the operating company alone bears the risk.
1.5 Warning against incorrect use
• Incorrect operation
For example: sealing times that are too short or too long and therefore result in improperly sealed packs which in turn damage the
product.
• Neglecting the following work tasks:
– Inspections.
– Cleaning work.
– Maintenance work.
• Use of third-party parts, i.e. parts that are not MULTIVAC spare
parts.
• Operation under prohibited ambient conditions.
1.6 Residual risks
The safety instructions in this manual serve as guidelines for trained
operating personnel in safe working practice with the machine. The
manufacturer cannot however foresee all possible product-related
hazards. This is why the safety instructions and warnings on the machine and in this manual cannot be considered exhaustive. The operating company and operating personnel remain ultimately responsible
for safety.
1.7 Obligations of the operating company
1.7.1 Creating the operating directive
The machine and operating materials are a potential source of hazards. The operating company is obliged to draw up an operating directive. The operating directive regulates the handling of hazardous
machines or operating materials, as well as laying down rules for behaviour in the case of an emergency. The required information can be
found in the following documents:
• The EC directives for worker protection.
• National legislation.
• Accident prevention regulations.
Safety
Obligations of the operating company
10.06.2014 15
• The machine instruction manual.
1.7.2 Monitoring obligation
The operating company is obliged to continuously monitor the condition of the entire machine, for example:
• Visible defects or damage.
• Changes in the operating behaviour.
• Age of the machine.
The operating company is obliged to ensure, that the machine is no
longer operated when it is older than 19 years. The correct functioning of the safety functions for the electronic components can no
longer be guaranteed after this age. The year of manufacture on the
type plate of the machine serves as the starting point for assessing
the age. In order to be able to operate the machine after this, the operating company must commission the manufacturer to check the
safety functions of the machine.
Info
Do NOT start up the machine, if there are visible defects or if the
machine is older than 19 years.
1.7.3 Making the selection of personnel
The operating company has to choose the personnel according to the
tasks to be carried out, see Section 1.1.1 "T
ARGET GROUP". The oper-
ating company has to order and authorise the personnel for the tasks
to be carried out.
Info
Trainees or other persons receiving instructions may only operate
the unit under the constant supervision of an experienced technician.
1.7.4 Training the personnel
The operating company is responsible for ensuring, that the personnel is trained and instructed in accordance with the tasks, which have
been assigned to them. The following measures can for example contribute to the training and instruction:
• Provide an operating directive, which is comprehensible to the
personnel.
• Instruct personnel on how to handle the machine correctly.
• Make the machine instruction manual accessible to the personnel.
If necessary, order an instruction manual from the manufacturer in
the appropriate official language.
• Inform the personnel about measures for avoiding hygiene risks.
• MULTIVAC offers appropriate training courses.
Safety
Obligations of the operating company
16 10.06.2014
1.7.5 Providing personal protective equipment
The operating company must ensure that the operators wear the required personal protective equipment (foot protection, head gear,
gloves, etc.) in accordance with the national directives which apply. In
Europe the directive 89/656/EEC specifies the minimum mandatory
requirements for the use of personal protective equipment.
1.7.6 Avoiding hazards
The operating company must check, whether there are special hazards during operation, e.g. through hazardous fumes. The operating
company must undertake measures to avoid or limit the hazards.
1.7.7 Providing the installation location
The operating company is obliged to provide a suitable installation
location for the machine. The requirements for the installation location
can be obtained from the manufacturer.
1.7.8 Provide power supply
Connect the machine to the mains electricity at an always easily accessible place. In the case of an emergency the machine must be
capable of being disconnected immediately from the mains electricity.
The power supply must be equipped as follows:
• Overcurrent protective device according to IEC 60204-1: 2005.
• Mains power breaker according to IEC 60204-1: 2005.
Connection via residual
current protective
device
If the machine is to be operated via a residual current protective device, a residual current protective device which is sensitive to all types
of current should be used.
Info
In exceptional cases, the leakage current can be so high that an
isolating transformer needs to be installed between the power supply and the machine.
Connection to IT
network
The machine cannot be connected directly to an IT network.
The IT network must be converted to a TN-S network by an isolating
transformer. The machine is connected to the TN-S network.

exceed that given in the Technical specifications, e.g. through the
fitting of an overpressure valve.
• The pressure relief capacity of the safety valve must be dimensioned for the maximum possible throughput of the pressure reducer.
• In the case of a release of pressure, the gas must be diverted to
non-hazardous areas.
Safety
Obligations of the operating company
18 10.06.2014
1.7.10 Avoiding hygiene risks
A high standard of hygiene is achieved through design, choice of materials and workmanship.
It is imperative that this high level of hygiene be maintained by every
operating company. Particularly where food or sterile medical products are being packed, the currently valid hygiene standards must be
strictly observed. The person charged by the operating company with
safety and/or hygiene must clarify, which regulations apply to the
product to be packed, and the person must then implement these
regulations.
The manufacturer assumes no liability whatsoever for any warranty
claims and damage claims of any kind resulting from insufficient hygiene and insufficient cleaning.
WARNING
Health hazard!
Insufficient or sporadic cleaning can promote the growth of microorganisms which can change unfavourably the product that is to be
packed.
This can severely damage the health of people, especially of the
consumers.
Among other measures the following are definitely required:
¾ Create a company cleaning guideline.
¾ Perform cleaning regularly.
¾ Check the effectiveness of cleaning procedures on a regular
basis.
¾ Follow instructions in the chapter 'Cleaning'.
1.7.11 Checking the packs
CAUTION
Health hazard!
Faulty or damaged packs (reject packs) can have far-reaching consequences, for example, spoiled products.
Spoiled products can pose a health hazard.
¾ Check packs on a regular basis during running operation.
¾ Do NOT put faulty or damaged packs (reject packs) into circula-
tion.
Info
It is the operating company's duty to determine the overall testing
procedure.
Testing procedure
Depending on the film pouch and the demands placed on the packs,
various types of testing procedures are available, e.g.:
• Check seal seam width.
• Visual inspection: Asses the pack optically.
Safety
Obligations of the operating company
10.06.2014 19
• Storage test: Store a good pack for a defined period and then reinspect.
• Stacking test: Stack good packs on top of each other for a defined
period and then re-inspect.
• Check the seal seam strength with a tensile testing machine.
• Low-pressure test (for vacuum packs).
• Measurement residual oxygen (for gas-flushed packs).
The following faults can result in a pack not being airtight:
• A leaky seal seam. Possible reasons:
– The inside of the packaging material is contaminated by product
in the seal seam area.
– The sealing time is too short.
• Damage to the pack caused e.g. by sharp-edged products.
Time of inspection
• After machine start-up.
• When a defined time interval was reached during running operation.
• When the pack size was changed.
• When other types of films or other film thicknesses are being used.
• When spare parts or wearing parts were built in.
• After faults to the machine were eliminated.
• After changes to the machine settings.
1.7.12 Pump protection function
The vacuum pump in the machine runs for a set time when the
chamber lid has been closed. During this time any undesired liquid in
the oil of the vacuum pump evaporates. This increases the lifespan of
the vacuum pump. When packaging moist or liquid products, the operating company is obliged to perform this function at least once a
day at the end of a working day. The manufacturer assumes no liability whatsoever for any warranty claims and damage claims of any
kind that result from the insufficient performance of this function.
NOTICE Danger of material damage!
Penetration by foreign matter (e.g. liquids, product residue, foreign
bodies) will damage the vacuum pump.
Damage can cause faults in the machine, which in turn can result in
reject packs.
¾ Cancel the evacuation process immediately if foreign matter is
sucked in.
¾ Change the oil in the vacuum pump.
Safety
Obligations of the operating company

Danger of explosion!
Operating the machine in a potentially explosive atmosphere can
result in explosion due to hot machine parts.
Explosions can cause serious injuries or even death.
¾ Do NOT use the machine in rooms that are exposed to explo-
sion hazards.
NOTICE Danger of material damage!
At an inclination of more than 15°, the oil in the vacuum pump
shifts.
The air de-oiling elements will get wet from the oil and become ineffective. This will damage the vacuum pump.
¾ Transport and set the machine down as horizontally as possi-
ble.
¾ Do NOT tilt the machine.
¾ Transport the machine to the desired location, see Section 9.2.1

6 Cleaning
Info
Observe the safety instructions, see Section 1 "S
AFETY".
Clean the machine after maintenance work and repairs and disinfect if necessary.
6.1 Notes on cleaning
6.1.1 Rules of conduct
The objective of the cleaning work is to avoid risks to hygiene. If the
cleaning is insufficient or not performed properly, this may result in
the contamination of the products and to health hazards for end consumers. In addition, the machine may be damaged. Assign only
properly instructed and qualified personnel. Information on qualification and training can be obtained from MULTIVAC Service.
The ability to handle materials effectively and efficiently depends on:
• Using the proper dosage of care products.
• Observing the application time of the care products.
• Proper temperature of the mixing water.
Data sheets for the care products can be obtained from their manufacturers. The manufacturers also provide information on the maximum permissible dosages which apply in the food area.
6.1.2 Creating a company cleaning directive
Specify the following points:
• Required cleaning intervals.
• Care products to be used. Care products, refer to "Care products
table".
• Using the proper dosage of care products.
• Persons in charge of cleaning.
• First aid measures.
6.1.3 Measures for ensuring a long service life
NOTICE Danger of material damage!
Highly acidic or alkaline cleansers that contain chlorine create
strong vapours.
These vapours cause corrosion.
¾ Do NOT use any care products that contain chlorine or are
highly acidic or alkaline. Also, do NOT use such care products
to clean the machine surroundings.
¾ Observe the specifications of the care product manufacturers.
Cleaning
Notes on cleaning
10.06.2014 55
NOTICE Danger of material damage!
Acidic cleansers are caustic.
These can cause plastics to become brittle and age prematurely.
¾ Do NOT shorten the cleaning intervals for acidic cleaning and
disinfection.
NOTICE Danger of material damage!
Inappropriate work on anodized aluminium parts causes a damaging of the anodized coating.
This will lead to aluminium corrosion.
¾ Do not use metal scraping tools.
¾ Do not use harsh cleansers.
¾ Do not use cleaning devices with abrasive surface.
¾ Residues of cleansers and other aggressive deposits must be
removed immediately.
Regular and proper care helps to maintain the machine's value. The
best protection against harmful influences is to clean and disinfect the
machine on a regular basis. The longer product residue and other
aggressive deposits remain on the machine, the more harmful their
corrosive effects will be.
If used incorrectly, care products can damage components made of
rubber or plastic. Before applying care products, please take time to
read the instructions and warnings provided by the manufacturer.
6.1.4 Parameters for pre-rinsing and after-rinsing water
• Low pressure of max. 4 bar to 6 bar (58 psi to 88 psi).
• Do not rinse with steam jets or high-pressure cleaners.
• Fan nozzle: 5 ° to 15 ° inclination, approx. 3/16 '' nozzle opening.
• Temperature: max. 60 °C (140 °F).
• Quality of after-rinsing water: drinking water quality.
6.1.5 Handling cleansers
WARNING
Chemical burn hazard!
Cleansers are caustic. Caustic effects are NOT noticed immediately.
Contact with the skin can cause burns.
¾ Wear the prescribed personal protective equipment when han-
dling cleansers.
¾ Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
• For type of cleander refer to the "Care products table".
Cleaning
Notes on cleaning
56 10.06.2014
• The quantity of cleanser is not the decisive factor for successful
cleaning.
– Applying amounts in excess of the proper dosage does not im-
prove or accelerate cleaning efficiency, but only hinders the required rinsing off of the cleanser.
• Dried cleanser residues make cleaning more difficult and pro-
longed.
– Even the smallest residues can inhibit the effect of the disinfec-
tion.
– Check by measuring the pH factor of the post-rinsing water.
• Regular checks of cleaning (i.e. by contact tests) reduces the risk
of product contamination.
• Insufficient cleaning cannot be compensated for by doubling the
concentration of the disinfectants.
6.1.6 Use with disinfectant
WARNING
Fire hazard!
Alcohol-based disinfectants are highly flammable.
Fire, naked light or smoking ignites the disinfectant and can thus
cause fires.
¾ When disinfecting the machine, flames or naked lights are pro-
hibited.
¾ Smoking is prohibited.
¾ Observe the instructions of the disinfectant manufacturer.
WARNING
Health hazard!
Incorrect use of disinfectant can contaminate the product with
chemicals or decrease the effectiveness of disinfection.
This can pose serious health hazards for consumers.
¾ Follow the instructions of the disinfectant manufacturer.
¾ Only rinse after disinfection if required by disinfectant manufac-
turer.
¾ Observe regional hygiene regulations.
¾ Create a company cleaning guideline.
• For type of disinfectant refer to the "Care products table".
– For water-sensitive components only use alcohol-based disin-
fectant.
– For all other components use disinfectants which are for exam-
ple based on quaternary ammonium compounds.
Cleaning

6.1.7 Corrosion protection and lubrication
WARNING
Health hazard!
Excess lubricants can accumulate at lubrication points.
Excess grease has no lubricating function; however, it can breed
micro-organisms and contaminate the product.
¾ Check the lubricating points regularly for the accumulation of
excess lubricants.
¾ Remove any excess lubricants.
NOTICE Danger of material damage!
Residues of cleansers and disinfectants produce corrosion.
Corrosion can destroy the machine.
¾ After every cleaning, including cleaning of the surroundings
(floor, adjacent machines, etc.), thoroughly rinse with water of
drinking water quality or clean by hand.
• Kind of anti-corrosion agent, refer to "Care products table".
• Only use H1 or FDA-approved lubricants and anti-corrosion agents.
• Checking the microbiological stability of the anti-corrosion agent
and lubricants regularly helps reduce the risk of product contamination.
6.1.8 Cleaning devices
Wet cleaning
WARNING
Health hazard!
The cleaning devices will become germ hot spots if they are not
cleaned often enough.
This can cause cross contamination, which will damage the product.
¾ Use only plastic brushes and brooms.
¾ Clean the cleaning devices daily and apply disinfectant after-
wards.
Dry cleaning
The exhaust air emitted by the vacuum cleaner and whirled up must
comply with the prescribed limit values for the packaging environment.

Automatic
If the function Automatic is set, the machine will reach the optimum
evacuation time and pressure depending on the product.
The automatic evacuation is suitable for the following cases:
• Achieving the best possible vacuum for long shelf life.
• Packing of products for which the optimum evacuation pressure
is not known.
• Packing of the same product but one which has varying properties (e.g. varying moisture content, varying temperature).
If the evacuation is automatic the value for Automatic sensitivity can
be adapted to the product.
Automatic sensitivity
Determines the evacuation time and the evacuation pressure
reached when evacuating with the Automatic function. The sensitivity is adjustable from 1 to 10. The lower the sensitivity, the lower the
evacuation pressure reached. The value for Automatic sensitivity is
dependant on the product.
High value for Automatic sensitivity (value 10):
• Is suitable for very moist or fluid products.
• Evacuation process ends early.
• Evacuation pressure reached in the pack is high.
Low value for Automatic sensitivity (value 1):
• Is suitable for dry products.
• Evacuation process ends late.
• Evacuation pressure reached in the pack is low.
Cooling down Sealing
Value for the cooling down time of the seal seam. The vacuum in the
chamber and the sealing pressure are maintained for this length of
time. The seal seam can harden. The sealing is switched off during
this time.
Cycle time
The display contains the times of the individual procedures of the
last packaging procedure.
Delayed ventilation Sealing
The ventilation of the chamber begins with a delay after sealing.
Distribution time evacuation
Switching interval between the completed evacuation process and
the beginning of the gas flushing process. During the distribution
time remaining air pockets in the products can escape before the
package is sealed.
Distribution time - Gas
flushing
Switching interval after the gas flushing process, during which the
gas can distribute itself in the the film pouch.
Glossary
10.06.2014 87
Evacuation pressure
Is the pressure to which the film pouch and the chamber are evacuated. The pressure is measured in the chamber.
Evacuation to a pre-determined pressure is suitable for the following
cases:
• Achieving a package result which is different from that of the optimum evacuation pressure.
• Packing of products for which the optimum evacuation pressure
is known.
• Packing of the same product which has identical properties.
Fill diaphragm
During this time sealing pressure is applied to the sealing diaphragm.
Gas flushing pressure
Indicates the pressure until the film pouch is filled with inert gas.
Pressure is measured in the chamber.
Gas flushing time
Indicates the amount of time for which the film pouch will be filled
with inert gas. Pressure is not influenced by this.
Hours of operation
Shows the time the machine has been operating. The counter begins to count as soon as the machine is switched on and can not be
reset.
Machine cycles
Counts the number of complete machine cycles. The counter can be
modified and reset. It is used to control the quantities produced.
MCV duration
During this time the set vacuum is maintained during the MCV process (Pressure value + threshold).
MCV threshold
If the pressure value set here is exceeded during the MCV process,
further evacuation automatically takes place.
Post-evacuation time
This time extends the evacuation process. Through this, the reached
evacuation pressure is lower than the set value. This time begins,
when the set pressure is reached. Suitable for damp products.
Rinsing time, gas
flushing
During this time the vacuum valve and gas valve are opened simultaneously. On one side of the chamber a vacuum is created, on the
other side gas is supplied. The film pouch is thoroughly flushed with
gas. This reduces the residual oxygen content.
Sealing time
During this time the film pouch is sealed. The sealing time depends
on the material and the thickness of the film pouch.
Sealing time max
This time determines the maximum value for the sealing time.
Settings - Production

Vacuum pump - Production data
Counts the vacuum pump's hours of operation. Counting starts as
soon as the vacuum pump is turned on. The display cannot be
changed.
Vacuum test
Automatic leakage test of the vacuum system and the sealing diaphragm.
Ventilate diaphragm
During this time the sealing diaphragm is evacuated. The sealing is
without sealing pressure.
